- '03 MSP - #729 - '90 CRX Si
Organization: CART (Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team)
Place: Bristol, CT
Date: 5/4/03
First time out with the MSP, and registered in D-Stock instead of novice. Lots of hard/fast runners out there, and the Fastest Time of Day was a 41.6XX by an AWD VW Scirocco pushing about 600+ WHP that runs the Mt. Washington Hillclimb (insane car).
Day started out cold (40's) but we didn't start running till about 11:00am. Then the sun came out and by mid-day it was in the high 60s/low 70's. First time was a very disrespectful 53.XXX. Second run was greatly improved with a 48.6XX. Third went back up to a 49.2XX. Fourth was a 47.5XX and last came a 45.9XX. Because I was the only person running in D-Stock, they bumped me up to either C or B stock (can't remember) and I ended up placing 3rd (yippy). Not bad for only my 3rd auto-x ever and the first in the MSP. Ended up running 37 psi front and 34.5 in the rear.
The last run should have been a mid 46 sec run, but due to a developed pothole in the chicane just before the end timing lights, they moved one of the gates in and it straightened out the chicane (which made everyone's times about a half second faster).
My second run was caught on a Digi Cam, but not my camera. He's a friend who I haven't seen in about 2 years or soo, and he was driving an S2000 with a fastest time of 44.028. He said he would find out how to download it and e-mail it, but my e-mail won't accept large files (hotmail). I posted this question in the Photo/Vid forum, but if anyone can accept this e-mail and host the vid, let me know (PM me) soo others can check it out.
